Jaap Keuter b812a6b0c5 ethereal-tut.mgp has a few problems:
* Written almost 6 years ago, some of the information is outdated.
* The referenced images are missing, so the presentation won't run.

Ronnie Sahlberg fcab322ada Some applications do very naughty things like reusing a port for a different protocol during different stages of an application cycle.
This is very naughty and will cause problems when we have assigned a dissector to a dynamic port using conversation_set_dissector().


To make ethereal handle this case I have changed the try_conversation_dissector() to allow it to fail and return 0,   meaning   yes there is indeed a protocol registered for this conversation but that protocol rejected this packet.
(which only happens for "new" style dissectors, "old" style dissectors will never reject a packet that way)

When this happens  the decode_udp_port() helper will still allow other dissectors to be tried, in the hope that the conversation is now used for some other protocol and thus someone else might be able to decode the packet.


Update SNMP and TFTP dissectors to  check that even if there already is a conversation but that conversation does NOT have snmp/tftp registered as the dissector for it, then create a new conversation anyway and attach the proper dissector.

Since ethereal keeps track of which frame number a conversation started in, this actually works really well.

Lars Roland 5bb4e926aa add the new target "install-plugins" to nmake makefile
in the plugins subdirectory. This target will copy all plugins to plugins/$(VERSION), thus (t)ethereal will
find and load the plugins when called from within the source tree.

call this target from the main nmake makefile after
installing other dependencies. call it from the nmake makefile
in the doc subdirectory before calling "tethereal -G".
This way "tethereal -G" will recognize the filterable
fields from the plugins, too.

Guy Harris 802859d3fd Call the "new-style init" routine for plugins a "register" routine, as
it serves the same purpose as the register routine in a built-in

just be taps.

Get rid of the stats tree's init routine, as it's just a tap, and as it
doesn't do anything.

Lars Roland 00273300e7 Preparations for dropping the old plugin api.
Introduce a new init routine for plugins, 
which does not take the plugin api table as an 
argument and allows etheral to distinguish 
between plugins using the old and the new api.

Update README.plugins accordingly

Change all g_warnings() in epan/plugins.c to report_failue().
On windows we do not have a log console open while
loading the plugins, because a log console cannot be opened before the prefs have been read. Thus g_warnings()
does not work for reporting problems with plugins.

Guy Harris 6616a3770c Make the "maintainer-clean" rules get rid of some additional generated
files.  Do this with GENERATED_HEADER_FILES, GENERATED_C_FILES, and
GENERATED_FILES macros in Makefile.common files, along the lines of what
wiretap/Makefile.common has.

Clean up "*~" files with "make clean" rather than only "make distclean"
in some additional places.

Add "maintainer-clean" rules to the Makefile.nmake files, paralelling
the ones in the automake-generated Makefile.in files, using the
GENERATED_FILES macros from Makefile.common files.  In some cases, move
the cleanup of files from "make distclean" to "make maintainer-clean",
and in other cases, put in a comment indicating why we're not doing that
(because some files that are distributed in the source tarballs, namely
Flex output, were built with a UN*X Flex and won't compile on Windows,
so we get rid of them with "make distclean" so you can clean up stuff
that *has* to be re-generated for Windows).

Clean up some *CLEANFILES definitions - get rid of ones that no longer
apply as files were moved or that add to the definition a name that's
already there.

Guy Harris 7002776572 Pick up the stuff I did for tcpdump to figure out the right strings to
use to format 64-bit integers.

Fix the RSVP dissector to use that rather than hardcoding "%ll" in.

Remove the "only if G_HAVE_GINT64 is defined" bit from the discussion of
64-bit integers - we're too dependent on having them to support
compilers that don't have a 64-bit integral data type.  Do, however,
note that neither "long" nor "long long" are acceptable, and also note
that you shouldn't assume "%ll" does the trick for printing them.

Guy Harris 0d1fb8c108 Make "-q" suppress packet printing when you're reading a capture file

Note that "-z proto" *doesn't* print statistics at the end - it modifies
the packet summary output.

Note that on at least some BSDs the "status" character is set to "off"
by default, so you have to set it explicitly in order to be able to ^T
an application such as Tethereal.

Guy Harris 911bad80f0 Have two strings in an enum_val_t - one that's a short string that is
convenient to put into a command line (no capital letters, no spaces to
require quotes), and one that's a detailed description for use in the
UI.  Allow either of them in the preferences file or "-o" option; use
the detailed description in the UI, and also use it when writing the
preferences out, so that the preference will be readable by older
versions of Ethereal (assuming the preference existed in that version).

Update "README.developer" to give more detail about an enum_val_t (and
to put the _t in), and to give a more detailed description of the
"radio_buttons" argument to "prefs_register_enum_preference()".
